Using this conversion hose is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2016 - 2021 Honda Civic 1.5T. Check if you have the street or race MAF housing as the ECU calibration requirements are different. If it's the street MAF housing, you can install the hose without worrying about ECU calibration. But for the race MAF housing, you'll need to do the specific ECU calibration. When installing, simply connect the high - temp 4 - ply silicone coupler included in the kit to convert your PRL Turbocharger Inlet Pipe to the PRL Cobra Intake system. As for maintenance, regularly check the silicone coupler for any signs of wear or damage. Keep it clean and dry to ensure its long - term performance.
